Snowboard, yours in silver looks beautiful!

You all in here will need to start your dedicated color threads soon.

These new MINIs are going to be quite successful, I'm sure.

 

Thanks! I am very happy with it!

 

I don't know how I missed this! First of all, that's my dealership as well. And second of all, I am very pleased to see this all white version (forgive me I can't remember what they call the Countryman white) because I think it looks great! Who is your MA there? They are all great guys.

 

Thanks! I am quite pleased with how it came put since I ordered it sight unseen. The color is called Light White. My MA was Fab. He was excellent throughout the entire process.

 

Fabrizio is my MA, too, and he is a great fellow. I've been frequenting MoFC since 2003 and can't say enough good things about the folks there.

I'm impressed that you ordered one sight unseen. I think that MINI will do quite well with this new incarnation.

May I ask, did you go for the FWD or the AWD? Either way this recent blizzard must have given you and your Countryman an nice workout.

 

I needed an AWD car for the snow/crappy weather out here, so that narrowed my choices quite a bit. I looked at the GLK/Q5/X3, but all priced out would have been around $50k. I figured the Countryman would be more fun and much cheaper at the same time (though not as much cheaper as I would have thought).

I was actually 17th on the list for it at the dealer, but I think mine was produced faster since it was pretty loaded (not sure if that makes a difference in the priority at all).

I haven't had a chance to test it out in the snow yet unfortunately.

 

Thanks for the info, SCtud. I'm surprised you haven't been been able to make use of it considering the big blast we got around these parts, however I'm sure there will be many more chances in store for you.

 

Here are the ones from my Dealer this morning.

 

A few photos of mine. Let me know how you like the stripes.

 

niiiiiiiice!!!! The rims are black or anthracite ??

 

Black

 

I've never seen MINIs transported out in the open like that. Our vehicles up here in PA get transported in the fully enclosed trailers that haul both MINIs & BMWs.

 

I was thinking the very same thing. Saw an enclosed trailer in front of MINI of the Main Line just a couple days ago. Porsche's get even nicer accomodations from the port.

 

kbfk,
More info on the stripes please. Those are different than the factory ones
I have seen. I love how they go down all the way in front.
edit... ok i just saw your other post which says they were dealer installed.
Did you request they go all the way down in the front, or did they just do it?
Also, yours don't have the cut outs on the upper part of the hood, did you request that too?
I really like the look of those cut outs, makes the stripes more unique imo. I may have to make sure my dealer
does it the way I want.

Matthew. I did spell everything out for the dealer. I found photos on the web and said I want them just like this. The going down all the way in front and back as well as not doing the cut out for the hood bump. My dealer was very accomidating.

 

Thanks that information will help me alot when I am ready to get mine put on.

 

Mini of Nashville received two Countryman today. One white, one silver, both base models (non-S, non-All4). One is sold, but I don't remember which.

Pardon the iPhone photo quality - just happened to be driving by.

 

I finally got to see the Countryman and have to say.... It is awesome! for me, this is the real solution to the clubman.
Really looking forward to get one!

here are some pics

 

very very nice pictures!!

 

Three shots of seats and doors, then some shots showing the textures on the dash and instruments. I thought the interior was a definite improvement from previous generations.

















Damn, the white can look nice!

 

Did you go through Baron Mini? Those stripes look just like the ones Todd put on the first delivered Countryman in KC.

 

Yeah it does look like something Todd might do.

 

Here's BigBlue fresh from the tint shop. Beltline, scuttles and headlights get blacked out next.

 

Congratulations! Very nice color! enjoy it

 

Looks terrific Paipuky!
